Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

Rwanda

Land of a thousand hills

GORILLA HIGHLANDS, LAKESIDE SAVANNAS AND VIBRANT CULTURE

Rwanda is famous for gorilla encounters, found in the magnificent Volcanoes National Park. Beyond that are the lakes and savannas of Akagera with rich birdlife, buffaloes, hippos and plains game. The southern rainforests of Nyungwe offer a foodie retreat where tea plantations roll into ancient canopies vivid with colobus monkeys and forest birds. Visit the capital, Kigali, for exceptional restaurants, young designers and important cultural sights that make it the model city of Africa.

The places you’ll go

Enter the forest for up-close gorilla encounters: watch families doting on newborns, juveniles roughhousing, and the profound intelligence in their eyes. Conservation and community efforts expand habitats and restore farmlands, embodying the country’s vision for balance between people and nature. Contribute to reforestation by planting a tree or joining local conservation initiatives. Drive through exquisite rolling hills and plantations, sip world-class Rwandan coffee or tea, and take in the peace of misty mountains. Cruise across Akagera’s lakes and watch wildlife appear on its reed-lined edges. Visit a local tailor for a handmade “kitenge” creation: a special keepsake of Rwanda’s creative spirit.
